Default Loose control arm?...Help please

sup guys,

my gf is trying to sell her 93 si hatch. the people want to take it to a mechanic cause it makes a rattling noise when it hits bumps. in advance the only mods it has are suspension techniques lower rear/front sway bars.

anyways, when i hit a bump when driving it sounds like a sound a roller coaster makes you know on its rail. and its coming from the left side. i cant pinpoint it. i jacked up the car, and did a quick look at all the bolts but they look fine. at first i thought it was a loose pedal, but not sure. maybe control arm. is there anyway to pinpoint it even further?

also the polyurethane bushings the sway bars come equipped with squeak like crazy on bumps is this normal? i spayed wd-40 on em once and it cured it for a bit. any other suggestions?

i dont want to spend the money to get it inspected. thanks

brandon
